Why Amazon Is Terminating Innocent Authors

What do you do if your Amazon account gets suspended but you didn’t do anything wrong? Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't care if you're innocent. That's not pessimism. It's strategy. Once you understand what Amazon cares about (hint: it's not you, the law, or fairness), you can start speaking a language they respond to. In this week’s episode, I spoke with Lesley Hensell, co-founder of one of the largest Amazon consulting firms in the world. She has helped thousands of authors claw their accounts back from suspension, and she knows Amazon's enforcement machine like the back of her hand. In this episode, you'll learn: The one thing you must include in the first two sentences of any email to Amazon (skip it and they won't even look up your account)Whether you should admit to something you didn't do to get your account reinstatedThe subject line trick that makes Amazon's executive team read it, and why most authors do wrongIf your account has never been suspended, this episode is still for you. Prevention is easier than recovery. Listen in or read the blog version to find out what you’re doing right now that could get you flagged.

Author's PR Playbook: How to Get Media Coverage Without a Publicist

Is hiring a publicist a waste of money or not? A typical book publicist charges between $3,000 and $10,000 per month, and they often require a three-month minimum. At $3 of profit per book, you'd need to sell 5,000 copies just to break even. Most PR campaigns don't come close to selling 5,000 copies. But the publicist gets paid either way, while the author takes all the risk. Here's what most authors don't know: the access publicists used to sell is now free. There are tens of thousands of podcasts looking for guests, and you don't need a gatekeeper to get in. You just need to know how to pitch a podcast. In this week's episode, Podcast Hall of Famer Dave Jackson shares exactly how to do that. You’ll learn What makes a host delete your pitch after reading one sentenceHow to identify podcasts that will yield the best results for sales and growing your readership.How to nail the interview and get invited back (hint: you’ll need the right microphone and the right content)Which tools can save you time and headacheIf you want to spread the word about your book but don’t want to spend the money hiring a public relations professional, listen in or read the blog version to discover how you can.

Apple's Cheapest Laptop Ever: Should Authors Buy It?
